PLN's are an aid to help you keep up with the everchanging world around you. How many blogs do you read on an everyday basis? How many times a day do you google information to try to find the answer? A PLN puts all your favorite things in one place!
What is a PLN? A PLN or Personal Learning Network, is a place for you to keep all of the information you want to check regularly. You create a PLN by adding widgets, which are small windows of the information you want to keep updated on. This can be a podcast you regularly listen to, or a blog you read daily or a website you check on a regular basis.
Why use a PLN? A PLN is usually used for convenience. All the things you use or view on a regular basis in one place.
Getting Started To get started creating your own PLN, decide which product you want to use first, I recommend pageflakes because that is what I am familiar with, but there are plenty others out there. Sign up for an account, and get started customizing your learning!
